Future Journalists

I loved using it in an after-school club. Students even came in before school and during lunch to check scores and I started a Pinterest board to have them share news articles for extra game points!

Using Fantasy Geopolitics as the focus of a seminar class I designed really helped students engage with global citizen standards. It was a much more efficient way to engage students and make them aware of what was happening in the world.

The map that shows the daily points for each country is an awesome discussion starter. Also, the draft was SO easy to use! It hooks the kids who are sometimes the least likely to want to be involved. Surprising what competition does :)

It engaged students who weren’t usually that engaged. I saw kids coming in before school and checking the scoring maps and really talking about what was happening and why countries were trending.

FANschool is a Game With Standards!

Our learning platform is designed by teachers and technologists for Common Core’s Reading: Informational Text standards and can easily be utilized for Writing + Speaking and Listening strands as students begin to summarize, analyze, discuss, and debate current events and school content.

The Social Studies games fit perfectly with these state standards, as well as the National Council for the Social Studies standards, especially as students develop civic and global competence through play. Use our current events games to improve daily news habits!
